The Amaltal Atlantis was purchased following the successful operation of Amaltal Columbia in New Zealand waters and has now been converted to a twin trawl net system, the first in New Zealand.
Amaltal Atlantis production facilities are among the most up to date in any fishing vessel and it continues to achieve the high production quality standard now consistently proven by the Talley's deep sea fleet.

Amaltal Enterprise
Length
overall: 68.8
Gross tonnage: 2412
Main engine: 4023
|
The Amaltal Enterprise is the most recent addition to Amaltal's fishing Fleet.
This vessel has enabled Talley's deep sea division to put more fishing effort into the southern ocean, where the harsh sea conditions require a larger vessel with more horse power providing a stable working platform.
The vessel has also allowed Talley's deep sea division to increase the product lines through having a much larger factory area to work with. This allows the company to produce more value added products whilst still at sea.

How long have you been
fishing?
18 Months
Why did you choose
to come fishing?
It’s something I have always wanted to do, I saw it as an opportunity to combine a career and something I love, fishing.
What does your job/position
involve?
I help shoot & haul the fishing nets, and do general deck work that can involve; splicing wire, net mending, and trips to other vessels in the Zodiac etc. When not on deck I work in the factory doing things such as packing, trimming, filleting etc.
What are the most rewarding
parts of the job?
The money that you can save when you are at sea is the best part.
But fishing is a great career, you can do lots of courses, and work towards different qualifications, which means you can advance through the ranks.
What are the worst
parts, and why?
The long time away from land.
What advice would you
give to people considering fishing as a career?
Do a trip on a wet fish boat and a factory trawler to decide what you enjoy most. (You can do this through Westport deep sea Fishing School) It doesn’t matter how little you know when you start, you’ll pick up all of the necessary skills very quickly.
